As we age, we lose volume in our face. Typical areas include the cheeks, the nasolabial folds (“parenthenses” around the mount), around the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), and the lips. Juvéderm,

Juvéderm, Restylane and Perlane are fillers that can address such volume loss. They are all made of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin.

Filler treatments can be done with topical numbing alone, or with local anesthetic blocks, depending on the wishes of the patient. All three fillers are pre-mixed by the manufacturer with lidocaine to ease the discomfort of injections as well.
